Unsuspecting Bus Riders Are Photoshopped While They Wait [Video]

People waiting at a bus stop are photographed and their images altered in a campaign for Adobe.

In support of Adobe’s Creative Days, the company hired the help of a photographer who has a knack for using Photoshop. Erik Johansson used these skills to manipulate pictures of people and place them onto a nearby billboard.

Where there would normally be a poster, the Adobe team set up a video screen that was linked to the computers inside a van. After another photographer took a photo, Johansson was then able to Photoshop the bus riders into various advertisements – often completely changing how they looked:
#gallery-3 {
margin: auto;
}
#gallery-3 .gallery-item {
float: left;
margin-top: 10px;
text-align: center;
width: 25%;
}
#gallery-3 img {
border: 2px solid #cfcfcf;
}
#gallery-3 .gallery-caption {
margin-left: 0;
}
